Where do you get 8? I used to consider it cost-neutral with 3. Each VPS is fully isolated. Not sure what you mean by "true isolation".

It also looks like you have to be putting at least 8 servers on a physical box to make it cost effective. I am also somewhat concerned with the true isolation of a client's VPS if a single Hardware layer is presented vs what I perceive to be a more isolated and resilient hardware layer per VM. What happens in one VM does not cross over to all the others. I have a lot more to read on this, I just started today so I thank you for the info it has made a lot of concepts click.

If you choose to use 64-bit Server 2003 Enterprise R2 in your containers, that's what you're stuck with. If you need something else (say, 32-bit Server 2003 Standard R2) you need a new virtualization server, or forgo virualization altogether for that one machine. To give you something to compare it to, Virtuozzo is similar in concept to FreeBSD jails and Solaris containers. VMware ESX may be less efficient than VZ, but you gain infinitely more flexibility. I've personally run 64-bit Linux, 32-bit Linux, 64-bit 2003, 32-bit 2003, and 32-bit NetBSD on an ESX box at the same time... can't do that with VZ.
